its staying raw...
galv dulls over time and gets a nice patina IMO..
I have seen how Rover frames looks after a few months/years and I like the color...
it will also make touchups easy and blind...

cross member was also done.. it was just in the trunk..

They did a nice job, filed off the slag and took down some of the high spots from the dip..

I don’t know what I’m thinking in terms of color for this Jeep… but I have a feeling this won’t be the last thing to be dipped

Could get addictive or hidden or trim pieces. I love to see the results of a real world corrosive test of dipping the frame of a daily driver being rebuilt.

aftermarket support for the pre 76 Jeeps is dwindling.
